Imagine if there is a 15 man roster during Shaq's time, 3 extra bodies to give him hard fouls

in Shaq's prime, there are only 3-4 big guys in a team, Imagine if there were three extra players in the roster?
Hack-a-Shaq would have ruin the league

This makes no sense. There’s still only 12 players able suit up each game. Would’ve made no difference

15 players can suit up in today's game. Indiana played 14 players tonight, could have been 15 if Ben Math is not injured

Oh wow. I am mistaken. Looks like you can suit up more in the playoffs. Carry on

It ran into the regular season. Orlando have played 13+ players in the regular season. At some point I believe we had 15 players play a game once.

woof imagine how crazy the 90s plodders would have been if they had 3 extra guys to carry, if you're 7 foot and can chew bubble gum you're in!

Source? I was skimming through the CBA. The word active or active list is in there far too many times for me at 7:44 am.

Starting in 2020-21 season teams can have 15 active players on game night. They can have up to 18 players with 3 G-League 2-way contracts.

It would be horrible! So many big men were in the league because of Shaq. I wonder how much he cost the other teams in salaries.

I called this the Shaq Tax back then :lol:

All the Mark Blounts, Jake Voskhuls and Tsakalidises, Robert Traylors, and Adonal Foyles of the League... they get respect from me as they 'kept getting them checks' for one purpose.

I just had a vision of Shaq running from someone to avoid being intentionally fouled like Dereck Lively did for the Mavs against Thunder the other day.
